About our artex removal in Ingrams Green
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Ingrams Green. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Ingrams Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

- Artex ceilings

After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.

Which option is right?

What you get
- Work done to the regulations
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Domestic and commercial work

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Ingrams Green questions
Do older homes in Ingrams Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Ingrams Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
